As time is pressing on, our attention this week has been focussed on preparation for the London Youth Games – we have started picking the final squad of 8 trampolinists to compete – 4 in the main squad, and 4 reserves. We have had tryouts this week and have had fun playing around with the routines and encouraging hopefuls to practice their somersaults as well as memorising the compulsory routine!
This also means that we are thinking of creative ways of fund-raising so that all the costs do not have to be borne entirely by the parents. Chloe, one of our Volunteers, is using her skills to help us in our endeavours. We spent some time this week brainstorming and have come up with some good ideas.
Sarah, one of our members’ Mum, has been successful in her application to take part in the ‘Recruit into Coaching’ a Sport England funded programme for volunteers who wish to assist in coaching young people in their local community. She is very excited about the programme, and is looking forward to developing her trampolining as well as her coaching abilities.
I ended the week feeling poorly – I’m coming down with a bad cold – hope it doesn’t turn into flu! The only consolation was the beautiful weather we had today – I had a lovely walk round Greenwich, taking in the sunshine.
To all Mums out there – enjoy Mothers Day on Sunday!
